Top quality work mate, my disk drive is working sweet as! It's actually quieter than before the problems, and many of the games that didn't work are now working :) ( Not all though )
:D
Think my drive could do with a tune-up...
Glad you're happy with the result. A good service can do wonders for an old drive.

Nice present for 30 years of CPC6128 :)

Bryce - how much would it cost for you to give my disc drive a service (please)
PM sent...

I can't believe how much quieter the drive is, and that's before I had anything to do with it! Just shows that the motor RPM was out
The commutator was filthy and badly worn. That would cause most of the noise. I filed it back smooth and cleaned it before I re-seated the brushes, which is why it's back to almost new quietness. I also greased the hub which might have helped too.

Brilliant thanks ;D
Glad to hear that Bryce fixed your drive for you Neil and that you got it back ok.
